This presented more nightmare horror comedy. Professional hypochondriac Mr Pillow has spent a lifetime touring the world’s nursing homes in search of sympathy for his non-existent maladies. He as found the unscrupulous Dr Smallman and his nursing home peopled by star patient (a life-size puppet) Anthony, the sobbing mechanical Miss Moody, a shrunken Bishop, a Nose-gun and a midget Russian physician eager to steal Dr. Smallman's Shrinking Disease as a Soviet discovery. All this in mock conventional false-perspective box-set with hospital curtains. This was the first Forkbeard show a young art student called Ed Jobling saw. And so the trap was laid.
